QUEZON City First District Rep. Juan Carlos 'Arjo' Atayde on Tuesday encouraged the government to make flood control measures a top priority and to appoint a flood czar to oversee the administration and execution of flood control programs, since paralyzing floods are becoming more frequent in Metro Manila.

Atayde said that because the House 'had delayed work in the past due to widespread flooding in the metro,' lawmakers 'are intimately familiar with this problem.'
